03 / THE PERSON BETWEEN THE PROJECTS
A few things that make me, me.
Pick something up.
I’m a Grade 11 student in Nepal. I photograph wildlife, streets and small details, and turn everyday ideas into short films.
When the camera’s down: trekking, gaming, fitness, or trying to make an idea work in code.
Personal shoots, wildlife, street photographs and cinematic reels. Learning light and composition by going out and shooting.
